cvs log/rlog(most probably others cause problems also) failing with: Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Cause: some how files (under Attic in my case) has the following format:

more /path/to/file/Attic/File.java
--------------------------------
head    1.2;
access;
symbols
locks; strict;
comment @# @;


1.2
date    2004.08.11.16.35.08;    author nomad; state dead;
branches;
next    1.1;
--------------------------------

The problem is "symbols" keyword. At some point in time this file was deleted, "symbols" keyword present, but no actual "symbols" specified.

[QUESTION1] How does this used to happen I don't know.

Tested workaround (manually) is to replace "symbols" with "symbols;" or to add actual symbols.

[QUESTION2] Reasonable error code could be returned by cvs.

cvs version:
cvs -v
